England Counties prop Richard Moore is back in the Nuneaton front row for tomorrow?s Powergen Cup tie at home to London Welsh (3.00pm).

Moore rejoined from Rugby Lions earlier this week and slots straight back into the place left open by the one-match ban imposed on Steve Evans at an RFU disciplinary hearing on Tuesday night for his sending-off against Harrogate in the last round.

Moore started four games for Lions after deciding to join them in the close season when he returned from the England Counties tour to Chile.

?We heard rumours a couple of weeks ago that Richard wasn?t happy there and did nothing at the time,? said Nuneaton?s team manager Paul Vowles. ?But we spoke to him on Monday and he trained and registered with us the following night.

?He is well-respected at this club, he knows how we work, and it?s good news for us.?

Moore?s return is an ideal boost for Nuns who, top of National Three North with a 100 per cent record, have yet to lose a home cup tie since they moved to Liberty Way six seasons ago but face a daunting test against a London Welsh side playing two divisions higher.

?It?s a tough one, but we feel we can compete,? said Vowles.

?Richard played against them for the Lions and has given us a run down of their strengths, and we will be giving it a real go.

?With the experience we have in our side we won?t be overawed ourselves and we are hoping for a big crowd to get behind us. Whatever the outcome, it is another opportunity to test just how much progress we have made and it is an occasion for the lads to enjoy.?

Second row Andy Goodall returns after one game out with a calf injury and flanker Richard Chaplin is back from injury on the bench.
